    Oddly enough, these are exactly the same stages I went through when switching to Linux.

  5. Re:Science has a high burden of proof. on Strange Globs Could Signal Water On Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You do realize that scientists have a higher burden of proof, right? They aren't going to say it's water until they analyze it and can confirm with certainty what it is.

    You missed the point completelly. Why exactly did they send that probe there in the first place? to use it as a remote camera, or maybe to analyze some shit? Probe lands in the puddle, gets covered in droplets, thers some frost like growth .. and ALL this multi milion dollar probe can do is take pictures? ...

  8. Re:A Strawman for the Symptom on Pirate Bay P2P Trial Begins In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Also, I don't think that most artists could live off of 10 cents a song for downloads

    since when do they have to live off ONE RECORDING???? How about some honest work every day like the rest of us? They can do concerts/pubs/clubs if they want more money.

  9. Re:Chumby homepage stinks, article OK on Inside Factory China · · Score: 1

    AH: I think that a manufacturer, basically once the hardware leaves the factory, and someone's paid whatever the market price is for it, then the user owns it, right?

    yeah right, so WHY does Chumby come with "crypto CPU" with sanded off markings and no source code to the firmware?

  10. Re:News in english about the trial: on Pirate Bay Operators Stand Trial On Monday · · Score: 1

    "Free" isn't a format...

    It is if you are a musician that gets paid every time he is performing. It isnt if you want your grandchildren to be paid for one recording you made 80 years ago.

  11. Re:Good but.. on Shifting Apps To ARM Chips Could Save Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    Chumby uses Flash Lite 3, same as cellphones. It is supposedly compatible with Flash 8.

  14. Re:Take them at face value. on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    I'd take Iran at face value for everything they say. They are going to get a nuclear capability. They are going to get a delivery system. They are going to act to expand their values world wide. Israel is only the beginning.

    ah yes, BAD Iran invaded neigbor state and killed 1500 people including 500 children, baad baaaad Iran
    Oh wait, that was Israel, and now they are talking Nuclear strike on another country is on the table.

  20. Re:Fantastic Slashvertising on Four X25-E Extreme SSDs Combined In Hardware RAID · · Score: 1

    Intel's X25-E Extreme SSD is easily the fastest flash drive on the market, and contrary to what one might expect, it actually delivers compelling value if you're looking at performance per dollar rather than gigabytes

    I hope someone got a healthy commission from Intel for writing that...

    commission? no, he just kept the drives :)

    1.Force any provider wishing to service a given region to service every customer. Regions would be defined by the government and the FCC. (so it might be "all customers in " or "all customers in ") There would be an exemption for co-ops (e.g. a group wanting to run a fat pipe into one members shed/barn/etc and then run something from there out to the rest of the co-op). Municipal efforts run by a local government would be required to service the entire local government area.

    in other words only FAT CATS with millions of dollars could become ISPs? 'great' idea
